Chapter Four Hundred and Seventy-One: Asking Politics
Li Hai is just a simple general. This man has considerable attainments in military affairs, is brave and has a spirit of adventure. He belongs to the generals that Li Ze values very much. Li Ze has already made arrangements for his appointment. He does not want generals like Li Hai to be involved in this political struggle in a daze. If one is not good, even if Li Ze is unwilling to do so, he will have to deal with him. This is not what Li Ze wishes.
However, Pei Ju's sincere contribution made Li Ze overjoyed. Unlike Li Hai, Pei Ju's status is much higher and his influence is much greater. In the Heluo area, Pei Ju's role is much stronger than those of Xue Ping and Qinzhao. With this person, Li Ze will be able to take the lead when competing for the Heluo area in the future.
More importantly, this person's turn to Li Ze will also affect other influential and powerful figures in the Heluo area, which will make Li Ze much more relaxed in the future. Therefore, after Li Ze met Pei Ju's current requirements, he made a promise that Pei Ju could choose any of the positions of the six ministries and nine ministers in the future.
After talking about business, Li Ze sincerely invited Pei Ju to stay and have dinner with him.
It is a very sufficient amount of four dishes and one soup, which is packed in a large coarse porcelain bowl. Although it is much better than ordinary people, it is more knowledgeable and knowledgeable. It is a bit incredible that Pei Ju, who is used to enjoying Heluo, has such a status as Li Ze and is still so simple in life.
"Gui Shi Pei, I am also a person who cares about food and fine meat. In life, the word "eating and drinking" is absolutely careless. Don't underestimate these dishes, this is carefully cooked by the chef I specially brought with me." Li Ze looked at Pei Ju's appearance and seemed to understand his inner thoughts.
"Outsiders say that I, Li Ze, love soldiers like my sons, ha, this is really a compliment to me." Li Ze continued: "I am not the so-called general who loves soldiers like children in the traditional sense. I can't do it with the soldiers, sleep with the same bed, or go further. To be honest, governor Pei said, I really can't eat what soldiers and generals eat now."
Hearing this, Pei Ju finally laughed: "I heard that the Taifu himself is very good at cooking, such as iron pots and many new dishes, which were invented by the Taifu."
"I'm going to make fun of it!" Li Ze picked up a piece of braised pork belly for Pei Ju and said, "I want to eat it comfortably, so I'm going to make fun of it. I slowly developed experience. Pei's governor tried this pork belly, a pig, and only selected the best pork belly. The chef spent a whole day to make this bowl of dishes. If you really talk about the price, it's really not cheap. Come on, try it, it melts in your mouth, fat but not greasy. After one bite, the fragrance penetrates all the limbs and bones. That comfort is really indescribable."
Pei Ju first tasted a little like four dishes. As Li Ze said, the dishes that looked very ordinary were really thoughtful in the way of cooking. Like the plate of eggplant on the table, if Li Ze didn't say it, Pei Ju would never recognize it. Not only did he not see the eggplant on the outside, but he also lost the taste of the eggplant in his mouth. After listening to Li Ze's enthusiastic introduction, Pei Ju finally understood why this was the case. He said that he had made a bowl of braised pork for a long time. When spending this bowl of eggplant, he really used various auxiliary ingredients.
"Some people say that governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh food. I don't agree with this. Those who say this absolutely do not understand how difficult it is to make ordinary side dishes delicious." Li Ze knocked on the porcelain bowl containing eggplant with chopsticks: "Just like this bowl of eggplant, if there is a slight mistake in the process, the taste will be less than 100,800 miles away, which is basically equivalent to being scrapped. This is just a dish. If it is broken, you can throw it away and then make it. But if a country has a policy deviation, it will affect thousands of people, a thousand miles of long dikes, and it will collapse into an ant hole."
"What the Taifu said is very much." Pei Ju nodded.
"Now my rule has more than tens of millions of people. Sometimes when I think about it, I feel a chilling air coming from my back." Li Ze poured a glass of wine for Pei Ju, and sipped slowly. "Governor Pei, what do you think of my current policy of Wuwei?"
Li Ze suddenly asked about politics, which caught Pei Ju off guard. After thinking for a long time, he said: "The strategies that the Taifu used in Wuwei are very different from the past and are completely different from those of Pei's past experience, so I really dare not speak nonsense, but I believe in one thing."
"I don't know what?"
"These strategies implemented by the Taifu have made Wuwei's strength thriving and are on the road of continuous victory, which is enough." Pei Ju smiled and said, "No one can blame a winner. Since the Taifu is constantly winning, it means that the Taifu is correct."
After drinking all the wine in the glass in one sip, Li Ze sighed: "Actually, I am also afraid of becoming the next Wang Mang. Pei Governor Pei, I am destroying a class. Under my rule, the powerful have almost no place to stand. The so-called famous families are trembling. If you say they are willing, then I don't believe it. But in this world, these people are partially born with the right to speak, and have huge strength in their hands."
Pei Ju put down the chopsticks and looked at Li Ze thoughtfully and said, "Taifu, Mr. Zhang Hui, Mr. Gongsun are all powerful people. Have you never discussed this issue with them?"
"Of course it was discussed." Li Ze smiled and said, "We talked deeply. Do you know why Mr. Gongsun and Mr. Zhang Hui were willing to use it for me? It is because we talked too deeply about this issue."
"The Taifu has never thought of using wealthy families and famous families?" Pei Ju said: "If the Taifu is willing to open the door, I believe they will definitely rush in."
"Yes, in this way, my path will be much smoother." Li Ze nodded: "And what? This world will once again enter a cycle of reincarnation. From the beginning of hard work, it slowly fell and decayed. How many years has it been taken by the Tang Dynasty from its prosperity to its current level?"
"But Taifu, have you ever thought about it? Even if you destroy this group, you cannot change this problem from the source, because the Taifu's subordinates will rise another group of emerging aristocrats and emerging powerful people in the future." Pei Ju pondered.
"Yes, it seems like a dead knot." Li Ze laughed: "I haven't thought so much now, so deep, including Zhang Hui and Gongsun Changming, the two gentlemen, are also thinking about this issue. The governor Pei is also a wise man. He usually has a good time, so why not think about this issue more, how do we go in the future?"
This is a big test question, but it also shows Li Ze's emphasis on Pei Ju himself.
"The Taifu's Yixing Society is a tentative measure to deal with this issue?" Pei Ju asked suddenly.
Li Ze looked at Pei Ju in surprise. He did not expect that Pei Ju could actually react so quickly to the essence of the existence of Yixing Society.
"Do you know Yixingshe?" Li Ze asked back.
"Since I want to serve the Taifu, I will naturally do some research on the Taifu's policies and methods. Yixing Society is too unusual. Even if I blindfolded my eyes, he kept ringing the Hong Zhong Dalu in my ears." Pei Ju said with a smile. "Including your supply and marketing cooperative, you want to try to replace the old system with a brand new economic system, which will affect the implementation of the government."
"Governor Pei is indeed a wise man." Li Ze nodded: "Privately, I named this system. Now there are only four people who know this new system, I, Xia He, Zhang Hui, Gongsun Changming, and Governor Pei, you are the fifth one."
Hearing this, Pei Ju sat up straight and his face became solemn.
"I call him a market economy under the leadership of the government." Li Ze said slowly. "Looking back, I will send you a booklet I wrote. I will read it when I have time. I think it will help you understand my ideas more. In the future, I hope that you can become my powerful assistant after entering the court."
Pei Ju took a deep breath, and her face showed excitement.
"Mr. Zhang has a deeper academic attainment, and Mr. Gongsun is more suitable to do something behind the scenes. Xia He knows the most about my ideas, but after all, he is a woman and my concubine, which is hard to convince people. You are different from the governor Pei. You are very knowledgeable and very familiar with politics, and you are not short of official skills. In the future, you are the most suitable candidate I have found so far."
"I will definitely study it carefully after the job." Pei Ju Ning said.
"Actually, it's simple. My idea is that the national economic lifeline that concerns the national economy and people's livelihood must be mastered and controlled in the hands of the court. Any other person and any economic form can only be its effective auxiliary and supplement. No matter what kind of powerful people or everyone I will produce in the future, he can only rely on the court to exist. Once he has any bad ideas, the court can easily uproot his power in a flip. In this way, even if the new country will still produce borers in the future, these borers can only lie on the main body of the court to suck blood, and cannot shake the foundation of the court. As long as we establish a good self-purification system and clean it up after a period of time, we can ensure the vitality of governance to the greatest extent and meet the expectations of the people for the court."
Pei Ju nodded slowly: "What the Taifu said, Pei Ju already has a rough outline in his heart."
"This booklet is just a summary, and it is still just a skeleton. Mr. Zhang, Mr. Gongsun, and Xia He have been working hard for him. I hope that governor Pei will do the same to make his flesh and blood more plump. Our time is enough, and now our rule is enough to allow us to experiment slowly. Now the boat is small and it is easy to turn around. In the future, the boat is bigger, and the difficulty will be doubled."
In an instant, Pei Ju felt that a thousand pounds of weight seemed to be loaded on his shoulders.
Because what Li Ze is discussing with him now is the long-term stability of a country and the future and destiny of a country.
